OIL-E XTRACTING DEVICE.

, SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 738,750, datedSeptember 15, 1903.

Application filed February 2, 1903 Serial No. 141,463. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT D. H. ANDER- SON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residingat Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State ofOhio, have invented a new and useful Oil-Extracting Device, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in I the extraction of oil fromexhaust-steam; and

the object of my improvement is to furnish pure dry steam for heatingsystemsand steam free from oil forheatingfeed-water for boilers. Iattain the results desired by the device illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing.

The drawing is a sectional view showing the construction of the entireapparatus in. full a detail.

striking-this cone-shaped center gives it a swirling motion, whichcauses the oil and condensation to be flung against the under surface ofthe upper baffle-plate U through the agency of centrifugal force. It isheld against and caused to traverse along this surface to the trough WVat the lower edge of the baffleplate U by this same force. WVhen the oiland condensation reach this point, they are caught in the trough W,fromwhence they are drained out through the upper series of drain-pipes Y tothe lower trough X. They are drained from this lower trough X throughthe lower series of pipes Y to the bottom of the extractor and are thendrained out through the drain mpipeZ. It is necessary to place a trap orgooseneck somewhere in the line to keep the steam from escaping throughit. The

caped separation therefrom on its contact with the upper baffle-platewill be deposited on the lower baffle-plate V and conveyed to theloweroil-trough X, and from thence it follows the course as described above.After the steam leaves the lower baffle-plateit passes between the uppertrough W and the lower trough X and then passes up over the top of themechanism and out through the flange-opening at the top.

The entire mechanism is held in position by the series of stud-bolts a awith nuts and taper washers. (Plainly shown in the draw- What I claim asmy invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In an oil and condensation extracting device, the combination withthe casing, the drain-pipe, Z, the inlet-pipe, b, the upperbaffle-plate, U, the oil-trough, W,and the upper series of drain-pipes,Y, of the lower baffleplate, V, the oil-trough, X, and the lower seriesof drain-pipes, Y, substantially as set forth.

2. In an oil and condensation extracting device, the combination withthe casing, the

drain-pipe, Z, the inlet-pipe, b, the upper baffle-plate, U, theoil-trough, W, the upper series of drain-pipes, Y, the lowerbaffle-plate, V, the oil-trough, X, and the lower series of drain-pipes,Y, of the series of stud-bolts, a, a, and their nuts and taper washers,as and for the purpose shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
